Trader Shag’s Music Emporium is celebrating their 25th year in business. Geoff Dwyer opened the store on Main Street, Brockport on October 18, 1997. Few industries have seen the rapid format changes that retail music has, and Geoff has navigated these changes and managed to run a successful independent music store for these 25 years.
The store offers a variety of new and used vinyl, CDs, and DVDs. Vinyl has had a recent resurgence, in part due to the nostalgia of vinyl, and many prefer the fine quality of these audio files. CDs and DVDs still play a part in the business. Many folks come to the store for mostly ‘new to them’ and some ‘new to the scene’ music, and or movies.
A big part of Geoff’s success has been moving into selling online for himself and others. The music store has provided a convenient location for customers to bring anything that can be shipped, then Geoff will sell it for them on eBay. He has built this into a big part of the business. Geoff provides the community with a service that makes it easy for people to clean out unused items and make a few dollars on it.
Trader Shag’s Music Emporium is located at 84 Main Street, Brockport. Business hours are Monday through Friday 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., and Saturday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Contact Trader Shag’s at 637-0720 or http://trdrshag@gmail.com.
